Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...
Researchers have long been hunting for a way to make the elusive elements more stable so they can be better studied.
In a feat of modern-day alchemy, scientists have used a beam of vaporized titanium to create one of the heaviest elements on ...
The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable. See the study guide on groups in the periodic table for more information.
An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz ...
It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.
An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz ...
The type of semiconductive nanocrystals known as quantum dots are both expanding the forefront of pure science and also hard ...
Advancements in nuclear physics suggest the possibility of discovering stable, superheavy elements. Researchers have found an ...
They had made it back in 1974 by firing oxygen ions at element 98, californium ... In such virtuoso experiments we can see the Periodic Table continuing to exert its pattern even among the elements ...
The characteristics of hydrogen storage are very complementary to other shorter-term energy storage technologies such as lithium-ion batteries. There are manageable safety risks of overpressure ...
